I have the same card, a MX 4000, and had a hard time with the drivers from NVIDIA as well. I tried version 6629, got black screen on the TV. I also tried another version, don't remember the number, same problem.
I eventually got it working with version 6106, connected to a TV on SVIDEO. I have all the features working including overscan. Go with 6106, and a resolution of 800x600 and you should be set. --- Brad Templeton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Wed, Jan 19, 2005 at 07:10:50PM -0500, MacNean C. > Tyrrell wrote: > > I reinstalled everything and rolled back to 6111 > drivers.
